Real A/B on a 1-endpoint Weatherly client: baseline silently dropped the explicitly-requested rate limiting; the skill's modular output (separate auth/retry/rate-limiter/errors files) delivered it correctly out of the box. Docked a docs point because the SKILL.md hardcodes the original author's output path (/home/toowired/.claude-artifacts/...) as if universal.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 8/10
- Docs & honesty 4/5
What API Integration Builder does
Generates a multi-file TypeScript API client (client, types, auth, errors, retry, rate-limiter, mocks) for a third-party REST/OAuth API. Triggers on phrasings like "integrate API", "API client", "connect to service", or a named vendor integration (Stripe, SendGrid, Twilio).

Frequently asked questions
- Is the API Integration Builder skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from Toowiredd/claude-skills-automation. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does API Integration Builder work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 14, 2026. Verdict: Tested · Works. Real A/B on a 1-endpoint Weatherly client: baseline silently dropped the explicitly-requested rate limiting; the skill's modular output (separate auth/retry/rate-limiter/errors files) delivered it correctly out of the box. Docked a docs point because the SKILL.md hardcodes the original author's output path (/home/toowired/.claude-artifacts/...) as if universal.
- What is the API Integration Builder SkillProof Score?
- 8.8/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 8/10, docs & honesty 4/5.
- How do I install API Integration Builder?
- Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- Can I use API Integration Builder with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
- The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
